A definition: Public Relations Public Relations
(PR) is the practice of managing the flow of information between an organization and its public audience. It gains exposure by using news and topics of interest that do not require direct payment. By using credible third-party distribution, it offers a legitimacy that advertising cannot.
Activities usually include presentations at conferences, working with the press and employee communication.
Public relations is often used to build relationships with employees, customers, investors, voters or the general public.
There are a number of specialties that exist within the field of public relations. (Source: Public Relations: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia) A freelancer or freelance worker is a self-employed person working in a profession or trade in which full-time employment is also common. Fields where freelancing is especially common include journalism and other forms of writing and creative services. (Source: Freelance: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)
